I don't want to open up another can of worms, but I can't let this part go.
I am not sure of the immigration statuses of these murderers, I will assume they are Canadian since I want to make a few points.
Why would we deport them? They broke our law, they will be punished by what is prescribed in our laws.
We have found them guilty, and they will be punished by the laws of
their country: Canada.
If you think we should deport Canadian citizens for committing crimes in their country of nationality (again, ie/ Canada), then you
are being
xenophobic. Why they should be sent away?
What makes one citizen less worthy of rights than another? Please read the charter and let me know where it says there is more than one legal type of citizen.
No matter how much I disagree with these murderers reasonings, be they religious or not, I can not under any circumstance, agree that we should deport Canadian citizens for breaking the law. To me, using religion as an excuse is no different from saying "I was drunk" or "It just happened"- this does not excuse you from breaking the law, although it might give some normal people an insight into why you did what you did.
As a umpteenth generation Canadian (with a generous mixing of various immigrants over the centuries my family has been in North America), I would say that we need to snuff out thoughts like yours just as much as we need to stop these sort of crimes from being committed. Don't forget, your ancestors were once immigrants with strange beliefs. The only difference is that they followed the law (presumably), whereas these new citizens did not.
